You will be required to check in for both the written and skills examinations. You will be required to present proper identification.

What To Bring

You Must have the following items with you when you take the NNAAP Examination:

  • Two (2) forms of official (current, not expired), legible, signature-bearing identification, one of which must be photo identification.
  • Three (3) No. 2 pencils (sharpened).
  • Eraser.
  • Analog watch with a sweeping seconds hand (not a digital or Smartwatch).

Proper Identification

You are required to bring two (2) forms of current, not expired, official, signature-bearing identification to the test site (one of which must be a photo identification). Photocopies of identification will NOT be accepted. Examples of proper identification include:

  • Driver’s license 
  • Signature-bearing Social Security card 
  • Clinic card 
  • Credit card
  • Library card 
  • State-issued identification card 
  • School-issued identification card 
  • Passport 
  • Alien registration card 
  • U.S. Passport Card accepted without signature
  • Tribal ID (with photo and signature)

The name on your identification must be the same as the name you used to register for the examination, including suffixes. If your name has changed, you must log on to your account at least nine (9) calendar days prior to either scheduled exam, and follow the instruction you are given there. Be prepared to provide official government documentation of the name change.

If you do not bring proper identification, you will not be allowed to test and your examination fee will not be refunded.

Security and Cheating

If you give help to or receive help from anyone during the Skills examination, the examination will be stopped. The incident will be reported to the DSHS for review, and your examination will not be scored (see Testing Policies).
